We're just now starting to pick our cold weather shiitake growing on oak. Really late season it seems. Anyone experiencing this? Our beech and sugar maple cold weather logs started long ago.

Julie, do you shock your cold weather logs, or are these the big logs that are more or less immobile? Did they do as well in the early spring when the temperatures were fairly low?

Our cold weather logs never get soaked. These logs did produce early this spring. 26 pounds in April and 43 pounds in May. October gave us 10 pounds and we'll see how November adds up.
The biggest lesson has been that the cold weather oak log from 2009 and cold weather maple/beech logs from 2010 have not produced at the same time! A good reason to have both in your yard.
